1805 Series Relief Valves
Introduction
The 1805 Series relief valves are designed for use in farm tap applications where a safety relief valve is needed between the first and second stage regulators. The 1805 Series is suitable for natural gas, air,
propane, or any operating medium that is not corrosive to the internal parts. Relief pressures range from 5 to 125 psig / 0,34 to 8,6 bar. Maximum pressure, including buildup, is 150 psig / 10,3 bar.
Features
• Tight Shutoff—Provided by the Nitrile (NBR)
O-ring and O-ring seat.
• Easy Maintenance—The union nut allows quick
removal of the cage assembly for trim inspection. The valve can be back in operation in a matter of minutes.
• Simple Adjustment—A single adjusting screw is
used to meet individual application requirements.
• Complete Venting—A closing cap is available if
all venting must be piped away.
• Sour Gas Service Capability—Optional materials
are available for applications handling sour gases. These constructions comply with the
recommendations of the NACE International Standards MR0175 and MR0103.

Principle of Operation
See Figure 2. Relief valves respond to changes in upstream pressure. If upstream pressure increases and exceeds the relief valve setting, the valve will open and allow gas to vent to the atmosphere. When upstream pressure returns to normal level (below the setting of the relief valve), the relief valve automatically closes and normal system operation resumes.
In the 1805 Series relief valves, the upstream pressure registers underneath the diaphragm. Gas reaches the diaphragm through the space between the O-ring holder and the valve guide orifice in 3/4 and 1 NPT bodies or through registration holes in the valve guide orifice in 1-1/2 and 2 NPT bodies.
When the upstream pressure increases beyond the spring setting, the force underneath the diaphragm overcomes spring compression. The O-ring holder moves upward, carrying the O-ring away from the valve seat. This opens the flow line, allows gas to flow to the atmosphere, and relieves the overpressure condition. When upstream pressure registered on the diaphragm decreases to a level below that of the spring setting of the relief valve, the spring force pushes the diaphragm plate and O-ring holder toward the valve seat. Contact between O-ring and valve seat prevents further flow to atmosphere.

Installation
The 1805 Series relief valves may be installed in any position. However, the outlet connection and vents must be protected against the entrance of rain, snow, insects, or any other foreign material that may plug the outlet or affect the opening and closing of the valve. If it is necessary to pipe away the outlet, remove the outlet screen (if one is present).
Flow through the valve must be as indicated by the flow direction arrow on the body. For dimensional information, see Figure 5.
Capacity Information
Natural gas relieving capacities at selected inlet pressures (setpoint plus buildup) are given in Figure 3. Flows are in thousands SCFH (60°F and 14.7 psia) of 0.6 specific gravity natural gas. To determine the equivalent capacities for other gases, multiply the capacity obtained from the curves by the following appropriate conversion factor: 0.775 for air, 0.789 for nitrogen, 0.625 for propane, or 0.548 for butane. For gases of other specific gravities, multiply the given capacity by 0.775, and divide by the square root of the appropriate specific gravity.
Then, if capacity is desired in normal cubic meters per hour (Nm3/h) at 0°C and 1,01325 bar, multiply values
obtained from Figure 3 by 0.0268.
Overpressure
Relief pressure ratings are from 5 to 125 psig / 0,34 to 8,6 bar. The maximum inlet pressure, including buildup, is 150 psig / 10,3 bar. System operation within these limitations does not eliminate the possibility of damage from external sources or from debris in the gas line. The relief valve should be inspected for damage regularly and after any overpressure condition.
Universal NACE Compliance
Optional materials are available for applications handling sour gases. These constructions comply with the recommendations of NACE International sour service standards.
The manufacturing processes and materials used by Emerson assure that all products specified for sour gas service comply with the chemical, physical, and metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175 and/or NACE MR0103. Customers have the responsibility to specify correct materials. Environmental limitations may apply and shall be determined by the user.
